Green Lantern #43 First Look

A quick taste of what's to come from the Blackest Night prologue. Spoilers!

By Richard George

Can you taste it? We're less than a month away from the first issue of Blackest Night, and even less than that from Green Lantern #43, which acts as a prologue to DC's summer event.

The Black Hand, mysterious Black Lantern agent, has been plotting ever since he was teleported to the Black Lantern itself (see DC Universe #0). We saw him recently in the free Blackest Night #0 digging up Bruce Wayne's skull, and DC even released a picture that showed him licking it. Lovely.

And it appears Hand isn't done yet. Though he's taking orders from an unknown entity (the Anti-Monitor?), this Green Lantern baddie is on a quest to find some of the DC Universe's most infamous dead.

At any rate, DC's blog, The Source, revealed what would seem to be a rather spoilerish image from GL #43. Want to know who is on Hand's mind? Click away...
